AoS Relic Lizardmen Part 2: Sauruses

In some corners of Hysh they say there are creatures that are thought elsewhere to have been wiped out at the great extinction of the Old World. In some places in Hysh, those digging the foundations for castles or pits for graves find bones so old they have turned to stone, and the gossips say that those fossils match the shape of the creatures they have seen, very much alive...

40k Tau, #Inq28-style

Maybe it's just that Tau don't lend themselves to grimdarkness, but they don't look to be so popular in the #Inq28 scene. Being on a roll with my two Eldar scratch builds I had a go at another scratch build project, a Tau with some drone companions.

Age of Sigmar: Scratch Built Tomb King

Wanting to have a go at making an Age of Sigmar Tomb King I thought: I've got plenty of skulls, what else do I need? Turns out you don't need much else. Read on for the sad tale of Emperor Khác Mù Ngọc...

Mordheim Ostlanders Warband – Complete

At long last, my final visit to Mordheim. The extended Kasprzyk family is complete and ready to represent the Old World Empire province of Ostland. Pics, background and family tree(!) below the jump.

40k Blanchitsu Dark Eldar

Of course I had to follow up last week's Good Eldar with a Bad Eldar. Scratchbuilt again from an even more depleted bits box. I went easier on myself this time and didn't stick to a two day deadline. Like last time the build was real ad hoc.

40k Blanchitsu Eldar

Here's a little one-off project, and the most Blanchitsu model I've built. I set myself the challenge of scratch-building a model in one day and painting it the next, and this is the result. Having not made anything (A)elfy before I wanted to make a real alien-looking being. It was gonna be a Dark Eldar at the start, but the build process was improvised and the model got more ambiguously Aeldari as it developed. By the time I added the Bretonnian horse-shaped helm the model looked more like an Aeldari Dire Avenger than a Drukari Bad Guy, so Aeldar xe is.

Age of Sigmar - Relic Lizardmen

Since there's some Lizardish rumblings coming from Games Workshop, I'm gonna reveal an Age of Sigmar project I've had on the backburner for a few months: Relic Lizardmen. While AoS's Seraphon are their own thing, and Daemons of Order is a cool idea, I'm aiming with this project to rehabilitate the Lizardmen of Lustria as gribbly monster-people: dinosaurian, antediluvian, insectile, chimeric, malarial, amphibian, bug-eyed, hexapodal, photosynthetic, piscine, exotic, Mesozoic, grotesque, earthy. Unlike the Chaotic beastmen, the Relic Lizardmen aren't mutants but an evolving and proliferating species of terriffic biodiversity. That doesn't jibe with being made of starlight and moonbeams, so instead these Lizardmen are a remnant group, living fossils that survived the destruction of the Old World.

Mordheim Bretonnians

Who goes into Mordheim wearing blue and yellow stripes? Only a very particular class of badass. Bretonnian warband pics below the jump.

Denizens of Mordheim – Skaven Master Assassin

Here's something that grew out of the leftover bits from my Cult of the Possessed Warband. The only Skaven parts in this Skaven are the head and feet. I think he makes for a cool solo character, which is great since I don't feel like making up a full Skaven warband! More pics below the jump.

Mordheim Mercenaries – Ostlanders

Being in a good place with Mordheim, I swung for one last warband: Ostlanders. One of the more characterful teams under the umbrella of Human Mercenaries. A cool thing about the Mordheim setting is how it teases out the cultural differences in regions of the Empire (R.I.P. The Old World).
